Two options (at least)

1 check_log from the standard plugin distro

2 (more complicated but more scalable)

 2.1 use swatch to watch the log and detect the alertable messages
 2.2 have swatch submit a passive service check result either to the
     Nag command queue (if swatch is co-located) otherwise with ncsa.

 This version is also adaptable (see the FAQ or Dean Bishops letters in
 the gmane Nag archives) to checking NT/2K event logs with another
 'event to syslog' shim such as Snare/Backlog. 

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
